The Elegant Universe
In a NOVA presentation, bestselling author and physicist Brian Greene offers a detailed and visually rich explanation of string theory, one of the most ambitious and exciting proposals in theoretical physics. This theory, which some believe could serve as the elusive "theory of everything" that even Einstein could not fully achieve, is explored through a combination of engaging storytelling and computer animation, shedding light on its complexities and the sometimes unconventional ideas it encompasses.

Did you or a loved one work on The Elegant Universe?
Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
